Job figures 'worrying', says Labour's Stephen Timms

The UK unemployment total has risen for the first time in two years, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The ONS said 1.85 million people were unemployed in the March-to-May period, an increase of 15,000 from the previous quarter.

The shadow work and pensions secretary, Labour's Stephen Timms, said the figures were "potentially very worrying".
